the aunt who brings up other people's
' children. And it Is Just this. Frivol.
If you don't know how to frivol you
have missed something and there is no
way to learn earlier, no apply your
i self. Everyone has to find her own way
.of frlvoling. for the t hi rrjrywitir suits

But collectively one may say, throw
overboard your notions of responsibility

what "people will think." If you are of
auch a serious turn of mind that no
week of all the fall and winter and
spring- Dut rinds you working out a
.. thesis on Phaedus or a paper on Uothlc
architecture, make a resolve that dur
..:' lng all your summer vacation you will
not read a single book that Is improv
ing, or grasp a single prlncfple of cul
ture. You will look at the world from an
other standpoint; you will be essen
tially human and companionable and
feminine. You will wear fluffy things
and try your hair In a new style and
i. worry a little" about your complexion.
If you take a needle In your hand It
wilt not be. to make a single useful
thing, but to embroider pink rosebuds

As for the people you meet you will

"One mistake that people make In -car-Ins
for their sweet peas.' suggested Mrs.
Frost, "In too frequent watering. 1 have
found that the plants do as well, or hot
ter, to let them depend on the rain ami
dew as nature gives It to them. Of
course, in a long dry spell they must be
wntrroi. Whenever 1 think they need It
I give them a real witting down, then
Irave them for same'days before I water
them ngaln." V
Mrs. Frost's flowers are never sent to
market until they have been kept In
water over night. Sweet peas thus
tnated keep In condition much better,
for the long stems absorb a reserve sup
ply of moisture which freshens the
blooins. o visitors to the farm are al

And so this Is the tory of a frail wo

Fads and Fashions.
EV YOlIK. July 4. Of the numer
ous accessories that give a toilette
lie real touch of elegance, the
new I'lerott ruches are, just at present
the things of great importance. They
are extremely fashionable and they
give a certain dressy air to many a
summer costume. Mallnes, tulle, chif
fon, ostrich plumes, taffeta or velvet
are used in making these ruffles, but
tulle or mallnes are perhaps used most
generally. They are worn close to the
throat and are fastened at one side bv
a bow of ribbon with long ends or by an
artificial rose. All colors are shown
so it is possible to get one that matches
or harmonizes with some part of the
costume. They are fast becoming the
neck finish of the season, staduallv tak
ing the place of the high-boned stock,
but when this ruche is not adopted,
there is a plaiting at least two Inches
wide finishing the top of the collar.
There Is a delightful showing of
parasols this season in every fashion
able shade and design. Those of taf
fetas are extremely smart to carry
won lauoreu suns matcning me color.
Plain colored silks, checks or stripes
are favorites for morning use and there
are some parasols seen with a brilliant
colored velvet stitched from the center
on, and once between each rib. As n
border there may be some wide lace ap
plied flatly. I noticed a handsome taf-
f fashion. However, some of the
smaller accessories, such as belts, stocks
and collar and cuff sets are made In
such cheap qualities that they are get
ting too 'common" to be really stylish.
And yet at almost the first glance one
can note the difference. Recently I
saw a coat and skirt suit of cretonne
with' dull red and green as the prevail
ing colors, and In a vine like design
which entirely covered th ground or

Sweet Pea for Profit.
Mary H. Northend In Suburban Life.
N quaint Marblehead, on the old Har
ris farm, a frail woman has found
not only health and happiness, but
financial Independence as well, through
. th cultivation of sweet peas. The
- sweet-pea lady herself summed up the
' .matter of success, in any line, when she
said of her work:
"Some people envy me when they
speak of 'good luck' with flowers, and
say they never , have any luck at all
with sweet peas. I don't call It luck
myself. It Is the hard work, the faith
ful care and the knowing how.
8o it seems that Mrs. Frost agrees
- with all other successful specialists who
tell us how they did it In her case,
however, the acres of fragrant blossoms
seem a special iriDUie lo enaesvor; mr.
. Frost thought of them, planned for them
ana loved them many years Derore iney

The first year Mrs. Frost did nearly
all of the work herself hoeing, weeding,
transplanting, etc. At the end of that
time, from a condition of seml-lnvalld-'Ism,
she had developed a strong and

freely to all who stopped to admire: but

- In the beginning of the work Mrs

the third year an eighth of an acre was
used; now, hard'.y 12 yenrs later, her

sevens, when Just a word out of her
matured experience would sat It rtirhr
writes Louise Mitchell.
But Just here is where a rock cornea
into view against which the "family
coach" la likely to be destroyed and, in
fact, this very thing is what happens In
nine eases out of ten. The "property
rights" of a man's homa come under an
unwritten law. of possession which ev
ery one Instinctively respects. Outside
01 mo gaie ne meets tne world on an
equal footing, but in there ha is king.
Whether it is remodeling his home, his
children or his wife, so long aa he
doesn't overstep the "lifeline" his "prop
erty rights" remain undisputed.
No matter whom he admits Into his
kingdom servants, guests or relatives,
they are pensioners on his bounty, and
as such under obligations to him for his
hospitality. He Is practically taking
them on trust, and for-them to betray
this confidence in them is a despicable
tiling. The position of mother-in-law
or sister-in-law in the home promises
delightful and happy things for the
family or very much the reverse. We
near that In most cases It la the re
verse, but this Js because the man's
trust In you has been abused. He has
virtually said to you: "I trust the
happiness of my home with you. Are
you worthy of the charge?" And if you
prove the contrary you have robbed him,
and it seems to me you deserve some
sort of punishment for the offense.
There Is no more beautiful relation
ship than that of the mother-in-law,
the grandmother or the "great-mother"
in the home. She who in the harvest
time of her motherhodd may sit there
with folded hands and quiet heart and
live over again in the life of her "two

her own married experiences the trials,

I They are stored up and laid away ,to
be drawn upon by those who seek them,
' but, dear "great-mothers," don't offer
I them until they are sought. They'll
have all the greater value If you .wait
patiently and sweetly until that time
arrives, and you'll never regret having
waited as you will if you don't. The
right kind of "great-mother" is always
in demand. It was quite recently that
1 heard a mother of six children ex
claim, with homesick tears in her eyes:
"I've never gotten over the longing to
run home to mother. If only Just for a
few moments. I've been married So
years, my husband 1s devotion itself
and my children are a delight, but if I1
could Just put my heud down in moth

'There, there, little girl; don't cry, don't

on to the end without her. Thank God
m.k children knew her, and that she
blessed our home with her presence for
10 dear years. My husband was always
offended if any one ever spoke of her
as his 'mother-in-law.' lis always used
to say, 'Our relationship has gotten past
the law part, my dear sir.' ".
It seems to me that ths "law part"
offers you very happy opportunities if
you are wise enough to take them,
great-mothers" but In order to gel
"past the law part" you have got to
learn a very big thing. You havs to
possess the qualification of silence the
silence that educates; that controls, that
clams. Things in the home life, where
you are being taken on trust, may fret
you every day of your lire at first. - The
children may seem to you to be going
straight to destruction, the servants
robbing your .son or daughter under
their very eyes, the husband and wife
misunderstanding each other in a ridic
ulous way when a word out of your
matured experience would set every
thing going on oiled wheels, but hold
fast to your golden silence.
This is your daughter's life, not
yours. These are her experlencsv her
training in wifehood or motherhood, not
yours. You may remember with secret
Joy those stored up experiences of
yours, only waiting like a bank account
kept in reserve for your "two children"
to draw upon when they have exhausted
their own resources.
Rarlej? Gruel for Babies.
Take jlne rounded tablespoon of pre
pared barley flour and mix into a smooth
paste with a little cold water. Now stir
this into one pint of actively boiling
water containing a pinch of salt, cook
fdr 20 minutes in a double boiler and
strain. When this Is to be mixed with
milk it Is well to add the milk to ths
gruel before removing from the fire,
stir rapidly for a minute, but do not
allow the milk to reach the boiling
point. Remove from atove and cool.
Plain milk formula Pour the entire
quart of bottled milk out Into a clean
pitcher, then hack Into the bottle sev
eral times. This will thoroughly mix
the milk. Then add proper amount to
barley gruel.
Pasteurizing Milk.
Scientific Investigations havs proved
that milk in a raw state should never
be given to children. Those who can
not buy a pasteurized milk, should pas
teurize It at home. This can be done by
observing these simple directions:
1. Bring the milk slowly to a boll,
and when it reaches the boiling point
bottle it Instantly, cork tightly and cool
it.
2. Never feed milk that la more than
24 hours old to an Infant.
8. Keep the milk near Ice. and never
leave a milk bottle uncorked.
4. Cleanse and scald all bottles ba.
fore refilling.
careful observance of these Directions
will Insure against babies contracting
disease from impure milk.
